Overview of Analysis & Visioning
Preliminary Vision for the
Texas A&M San Antonio Area
The Texas A&M San Antonio Area Regional center will be a dynamic urban community that provides quality education, economic opportunity, and plentiful
housing options while respecting the rural character of the area. As a major educational and industrial hub for the region, this community will champion the
major institutions that call it home, while supporting the growth of other technology and research industries that will be the driving force behind private
investment. The community will lead the evolution of San Antonio’s Southside by incorporating innovative solutions to environmental sustainability, mobility, and
public health.
Draft Goals for Texas A&M
Goal 1: Strongly encourage the addition of necessary infrastructure to facilitate appropriate development to the area.
Goal 2: Capitalize on the projected growth of Texas A&M University – San Antonio to facilitate the addition of retail, entertainment, and service industry uses, as well as off-campus housing options.
Goal 3: Focus new development in targeted areas and along high traffic corridors, and appropriately transition from new development to rural homes, ranches, and protected natural areas in order to protect the rural character of the area.
Goal 4: Utilize natural assets, such as the Medina River and Leon Creek Greenways, as amenities to educate and to attract future residents and visitors while also linking the places where people live and work.
Draft Goals for Texas A&M
Goal 5: Expand protected land to enhance biodiversity, climate change resilience, and rural character while also creating a buffer to major regional institutions.
Goal 6: Improve and enhance area roadways, expand multi-use trail and greenway connections, and attract better transit service linking the area to Downtown and other employment centers throughout the city.
Goal 7: Work cohesively with area stakeholders, to develop and attract industries that contribute to a sustainable, environmentally-friendly, and innovative economy.
Housing & Jobs Projections
Regional Center Types
Regional Centers are also classified by “maturity”
Employment Concentrations
• Diverse economy has lead to polycentric employment growth
• Employment is naturally clustered despite lack of intent to create clustering
• Development has begun to strip along highway corridors which is problematic
Historic Employment Capture
• 50% of jobs in Bexar County are in the 13 identified Activity Centers
• Over 50% of recent commercial and industrial developed space has been within the Activity Centers
Square Feet of Development since 2000
Regional Center Growth Goals:
• 60% of Jobs (forecast is 50%)
• 20% of Housing Units
• 50% of Multifamily Units
Regional Center Growth Forecasts
Mitigating Factors for Texas A&M San Antonio
Employment – Growth (timing and
amount) of Toyota and Texas A&M will impact future opportunities
– Need to create a market beyond Toyota and Texas A&M
Employment Growth | 2010-2040
20,000 new jobs
660 jobs per year
2,660 new jobs (US Census LEHD 2010 to 2015)
Approx. 530 jobs per year
New Employment since 2010
Desired Economic Future
Employment
• What can we attract to the area that isn’t related to Texas A&M and Toyota?
• What opportunities are there to leverage the anchors?
• What types of jobs do we want to attract to the Regional Center?
Mitigating Factors for Texas A&M San Antonio
• Housing – Baseline forecast based
largely on Verano land use plan and vacant acreage
– Desirability of area for new housing
– Limitations due to Toyota
Household Growth | 2010-2040
6,500 new housing units
215 new units per year
Desired Housing Future
Housing
